Here's an EP's worth of tunes, consisting of the demos from the dark days (2003 and early 2004) when I lived in an apartment in Blacksburg, VA as a depressed dropout from Virginia Tech.
Since my modus operandi is innocuous, saccharine pop, I didn't get much material out of this period.

I apologize for the atrocious sound quality, but I was inexperienced as a recordist and fighting bad equipment. Tons of background noise, a 1970s TAPCO mixer, a 4-track tape recorder, and unmatched impedance between my gear and my computer do not a great record make.
The vocals, keyboards, keydrumming, and bass guitar were performed by me (Derik Stiller). I'm also responsible for the shameful production.
